Rouge G L’Extrait is such an interesting formula, because it has a lot of the components of long-wearing, liquid lipstick, but it doesn’t have the same dry-down. It clings, but it doesn’t develop a full on second-skin as do other products in the category. As a result, it doesn’t flake away but wears away evenly over time. The flaking is one of the problems with long-wearing, liquid lipstick, which can make reapplication difficult, as it needs to be fully removed before reapplying. However, there is a trade-off: this formula isn’t transfer-free or even transfer-resistant. It certainly wouldn’t pass a kiss-test! Avarice wore for a lengthy eight hours, and it’s hydrating both during and after it fades away. It’s opaque in a single pass, and you’ll want to use less product than you’d expect, because you don’t need much for full coverage.
